0159 <H2>6. Items for migration of the user code</H2>
0160
0161 Some migrations may be necessary for advanced uses of features in Geant4
0162 in order to upgrade from release 7.1 to release 8.0. Note that a full reinstallation
0163 of libraries (or a full recompilation) and a recompilation of user applications
0164 is required.
0165
0166 <P> </P>
0167 <B>Creating and instantiating physics lists : impact of the revised, "non-static", particle
0168 definitions</B>
0169 <P> </P>
0170 In this release, all particle-definition objects are instantiated dynamically
0171 when the method <TT>ConstructParticle()</TT> of the user's <TT>G4VUserPhysicsList</TT> is
0172 called.
0173 This method is invoked when the user's physics list is assigned to the
0174 <TT>G4RunManager</TT> (whereas previously it was called at the
0175 time of
0176 <TT>G4RunManager::Initialize()</TT>). The new scheme allows the
0177 user to set a number physics quantities to alternative values (e.g. masses of
0178 elementary particles) before particles are instantiated with the values provided by Geant4.
0179 This new scheme creates some restrictions which can
0180 affect on the existing users's codes, in particular when user-defined
0181 physics lists are used:
0182 <OL>
0183 <LI>Physics processes and models must be instantiated in the
0184 <TT>ConstructProcess()</TT> method of the user's physics list.<BR>
0185 In particular physics processes or models <em>must not</em> be data members of a physics
0186 list. The reason is that some existing physics processes and models require
0187 that particles have been instantiated already. If a process is a data member
0188 of the physics list, it is instantiated when the physics list's constructor
0189 is called, and thus before the invocation of <TT>ConstructParticle()</TT>.<BR>
0190 The "educated-guess" physics lists distributed with previous Geant4 releases
0191 are affected by this change. The revised physics lists, which are distributed
0192 with this release, should be used in their place.
0193 A user adopting his/her own physics list, will need to perform a similar
0194 revision in case a <TT>G4Exception</tt> with the following message occurs
0195 when the physics list is instantiated:<BR>
0196 <em>Error message</em>:
0197 <PRE>
0198 Access to G4ParticleTable for finding a particle or equivalent operation
0199 occurs before G4VUserPhysicsList is instantiated and assigned to
0200 G4RunManager. Such access is prohibited by Geant4 version 8.0.
0201 To fix this problem, please make sure that your main() instantiates
0202 G4VUserPhysicsList and set it to G4RunManager before instantiating
0203 other user classes such as G4VUserPrimaryParticleGeneratorAction.
0204 </PRE>
0205 <em>Fix:</em>
0206 All physics processes and models defined as data members of the physics
0207 list must be moved to the <TT>ConstructProcess()</TT> method, and must be
0208 explicitly instantiated by <TT>new</TT> operator. The revised physics lists
0209 provide a reference for this revision.</LI>
0210 <LI>User action classes (derived from <TT>G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction,
0211 G4UserRunAction, G4UserEventAction, G4UserStackingAction,
0212 G4UserTrackingAction</TT> and <TT>G4UserSteppingAction</TT>) must be
0213 instantiated after the physics list is instantiated and after it is set to
0214 <TT>G4RunManager</TT>. Please note that the user's detector construction
0215 class is a user initialization class and thus is not affected by this
0216 restriction.<BR>
0217 The user should revise the <TT>main()</TT> function if the following
0218 <TT>G4Exception</TT> occurs:<BR>
0219 <em>Error message</em> (for <TT>G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction</TT>):
0220 <PRE>
0221 You are instantiating G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction BEFORE your
0222 G4VUserPhysicsList is instantiated and assigned to G4RunManager.
0223 Such an instantiation is prohibited by Geant4 version 8.0. To fix this
0224 problem, please make sure that your main() instantiates G4VUserPhysicsList
0225 AND set it to G4RunManager before instantiating other user action classes
0226 such as G4VUserPrimaryParticleGeneratorAction.
0227 </PRE>
0228 <em>Fix:</em>
0229 Edit <TT>main()</TT> to make sure all user action classes are
0230 instantiated after the physics list is set to <TT>G4RunManager</TT>.</LI>
0231 </OL>
0232
0233 <P> </P>
0234 <B><TT>G4VProcess</TT> base class</B>
0235 <P> </P>
0236 A signature change is implemented in the <TT>G4VProcess</TT> base class.<BR>
0237 The virtual method <TT>StartTracking()</TT> defined in <TT>G4VProcess</TT>
0238 now takes <TT>const G4Track*</TT> as argument in its signature. Users
0239 implementing their own physics process and making use of this virtual
0240 method, will have to modify the signature accordingly.
0241
0242 <P> </P>
0243 <B>Multiple Scattering electromagnetic process</B>
0244 <P> </P>
0245 In the electromagnetic standard package major changes have been introduced
0246 concerning the Multiple Scattering process. To improve the behaviour of low
0247 energy particles (electrons in particular, but affecting also hadrons),
0248 the Multiple Scattering now limits the step size for the particles. This
0249 restriction is undertaken using several criteria, and is applied systematically,
0250 in all volumes and materials. In addition a model of the correlation between
0251 lateral displacement and final direction has been implemented (see the
0252 Physics Reference Manual for further information).<BR>
0253 As a result, most physical observables become more stable when varying
0254 production cuts (i.e. less "cut dependent"). There is a corresponding
0255 cost, a CPU-time penalty, when utilising the same value of the production
0256 thresholds. This penalty can be significant, depending on the user's setup and
0257 the cut values. For many use cases the increased stability will allow the choice
0258 of higher production thresholds, recovering computing performance while
0259 maintaining physics performance.<BR>
0260 To enable the user to investigate its benefits, a mechanism is provided to
0261 deactivate this step limitation. The new method <TT>MscStepLimitation(bool)</TT>
0262 of <tt>G4MultipleScattering</tt> disables these new step limitations.
0263 In addition, in order to help the transition, the old version is available for
0264 this release 'frozen' in the class <TT>G4MultipleScattering71</TT>.
0265 Several examples (in extended/electromagnetic) provide sample physics lists
0266 which use this older version.
0267
0268 <P> </P>
0269 <B>Geometry modeler</B>
0270 <P> </P>
0271 For setups including parameterised geometries by material, an interface
0272 extension is introduced in <TT>G4VPVParameterisation</TT> base class for the
0273 <TT>ComputeMaterial()</TT> method. An optional argument has been added, that
0274 provides a constant pointer to the touchable of the parent of the current
0275 volume, enabling access to its copy number and other properties, and those of
0276 all its ancestor volumes.
0277 User code making use of this feature will have to be updated accordingly.
0278 A compilation warning should flag to take into account this interface change.
0279 <P></P>
0280 Internal classes implementing the framework for twisted solids have been
0281 renamed. User code depending on this framework will have to be modified
0282 accordingly.
0283
0284 <P> </P>
0285 <B>Fast parameterisation</B>
0286 <P> </P>
0287 The concept of "envelope" and "ghost-volume" for fast-parameterisation has
0288 been merged with the <TT>G4Region</TT> in this release. Therefore, a
0289 logical-volume no longer acts directly as an "envelope", since this attribute
0290 now assigned to <TT>G4Region</TT>. Please refer to the User Guide for
0291 Application Developers for the detailed information. The relevant modules have
0292 migrated accordingly. See <TT>exampleN05</TT> which has been revised to
0293 demonstrate this new mechanism.
0294 <P></P>
0295 A design iteration has taken place for the GFlash fast shower parameterisation
0296 model and some classes were renamed to follow the new implementation and
0297 design for envelopes. User code making use of the GFlash tool should migrate
0298 accordingly.
0299 <P></P>
0300 TRD models for cluster parameterisation have been retired. The functionality
0301 is now provided directly as physics processes and included in the
0302 <TT>electromagnetic</TT> packages.
0303
0304 <P> </P>
0305 <B>Migration to <TT><sstream></TT> from deprecated
0306 <TT><strstream></TT></B>
0307 <P> </P>
0308 <TT><strstream></TT> types are no longer in use by the Geant4 kernel in
0309 this release. Also any protection from compilation warnings by the compiler
0310 for deprecation of such header are no longer implicitely included. User code
0311 therefore will be exposed to implement such migration to
0312 <TT><sstream></TT>, if not already done.
0313
0314 <P> </P>
0315 <B>System of Units and Physical Constants</B>
0316 <P> </P>
0317 Geant4 8.0 can be used either with version 1.9.2.2 of CLHEP or 2.0.2.2.
0318 Explicit usage of the <TT>CLHEP</TT> and <TT>HepGeom</TT> namespaces is
0319 made in the Geant4 code. However, for what concerns Units and Physical
0320 Constants, these are still kept available in the global namespace for
0321 convenience and backward-compatibility.
